K rate ages faster for relievers?
That’s the implication here. But, seeing that the quality of pitchers in the starters group FAR exceeds that of the relievers group, it wouldn’t necessarily be a starter/relief thing, but a good/bad pitcher thing.
I’ve mentioned in the past that it’s more likely that good players don’t age as fast or peak as early as bad players. That’s part of what makes them good. Plenty of players peak at age 21, and chances are, they weren’t that good.
